hello to you all, thought id just pass on a gift shopping tip i discovered. while usually spending lots of £ on prezzies and thinking of how to cut the amount down , i noticed that most of the things i like to treat myself or family or friends to could be brought at pound stores such as poundland , pound express, 99 p stores etc. stuff like books which cost atleast a fiver in most places will only set you back £1 ! , the same goes for chocs, toys and small boxed gift sets. this may all sound like beggars cant be choosers or stingy/cheapskate... but the quality of many of the products is good, you can even get branded goods aswell, like toiletries which are double the price in boots or superdrugs. hope its helpful for anyone wanting to save some money anyway. ( everyone else plz dont be offended).
